Their mother is really grade to see them that they still alive after the war and tell them to get inside the house to eat dinner. Jesse, his brother and his cousin(Cole Younger) talk about the future that they want to have the farm and live in here in peace but the something bad is happen because Thaddeus Rains, President Rock Northern Rail Road, Allan Pinkerton , those railroad men came to their place and offered to buy for two dollars an acre to built the rail road and told that they don’t have a choice because if anybody against them they will hang them at the center of the town to make villagers afraid to dead and sell the land to them.

When Cole knows that Jesse was arrest he and his friend including Jesses ’wife come to rescue him. Finally Jesse can run away and come back to his gang and to travel with his wife again.
In my opinion :I think this movie is represent about the cowboy life in the west. Have to take care farm and take care their cow. They was called outlaw because they have to do something to protect themselves. And the characters themselves were terrible. By the end of the film, we still knew nothing about any of them. I like to have at least some understanding of the characters in a film. Whether they're the good guys or the bad guys, at least give me something about them to understand, sympathize with, or relate to. Sure, Frank and Jessie wanted revenge for a personal tragedy, but the depiction of that tragedy is handled so lazily we often forget about it for the rest of the film. The other characters tagging along with the brothers do so to make a stand against the railroad tycoon (Harris Yulin), but again, we don't get anything from them personally to make us root for their success. Mostly in this movie it’s good for the entertain because there are a lot a action scene for you to see.

Good summary and ok comments at the end.
This was, as you said, an entertaining movie with lots of action.
What characteristics did you see in the James brothers that one could call "American culture."
What kind of woman was Zee and how does she represent the typical Amerian woman?
You could have gone into more detail about the characteristics of the people you saw in the movie.
